Computing the energy levels of a helium atom in 1958 was significantly harder than it is today. But a comparison of then and now methods reveals some counterintuitive anomalies about the impact of computer science

Fujitsu and Chuo University of Japan today announced that a team of researchers employed the T2K Open Supercomputer - which was delivered by Fujitsu to Kyoto University's Academic Center for Computing and Media Studies - to successfully compute with high precision, as a world first, an optimization problem to reveal the molecular behavior of ethane (CH3 only), ammonia (NH3) and oxygen (O2).

(PhysOrg.com) -- Computer scientist Adolfy Hoisie has joined the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to lead PNNL's high performance computing activities. In one such activity, Hoisie will direct a group of scientists designing supercomputers and their software applications simultaneously  so all the components of a supercomputer can be optimized and focused on one kind of problem.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Currently, researchers have demonstrated the scalability of high-level excited-state coupled-cluster approaches and parallel-in-time algorithms, reaching a staggering 34,000 Core Processing Units. Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are targeting the software that is capable of describing the behavior of molecules in excited states, as well simulating their dynamics.
